Compared to litigation, most ADR methods are notably more cost-effective. The exception to widespread ADR use is typically found in Criminal Law. Nevertheless, there are cases where victims of accused individuals opted for ADR procedures and found greater satisfaction than letting the state solely penalize the accused without any benefit to them.

In ADR sessions, unlike the adversarial nature of litigation, the process is collaborative, allowing ample space for parties to understand each other’s positions. Often, parties can propose more advantageous and innovative solutions than if the dispute were to go through the court system.

Each ADR procedure involves a third party with an impartial perspective, and in Arbitration proceedings, an Arbitrator delivers a binding Award.

ADR is particularly appealing when parties in dispute wish to preserve their business relationship while addressing the issues that have arisen within it.

Here’s a concise overview of the various ADR processes:

• Negotiation: Parties engage in dialogue to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome.
• Mediation: A non-binding, collaborative process where parties are guided to reach a mutually agreeable solution.
• Conciliation: Similar to mediation but with a final, binding agreement between parties.
• Arbitration: Involves a qualified Arbitrator who listens to parties and reviews relevant documents to issue a decision known as the Arbitral Award.
